Phoenix Archaeology & Historic Group
website : http://www.phoenixarchaeology.co.uk/
We
are an amateur group who wish to investigate as much land as possible in the area
around Banbury (Oxon) in order to map out the land usage and settlement from prehistoric
times to the present day. We do this by document research, field walking to recover
items such as flint or pottery and, wherever possible, we use Metal Detectors to
recover buckles, buttons and coins ets which are dateable evidence.The items that
are recovered are carefully cleaned, conserved and recorded. Objects of importance
are then recorded with the Find's Liaison Officer for the area. This is all carried
out in accordance with the Portable Antiquities Scheme.
Finds are then preserved by
members of the society or placed in a museum in accordance with the landowners wishes.
All information is recorded by area or farm and a copy of the file passed to the
landowner. All our members work within our constitution rules and our health and
safety policy, copies of which are available. The society and members are all insured
with the Federation of Independent Detectorists, and have public liability insurance
up to £5,000,000. Our group also offers a free search and recovery service to members
of the public and farmers.
Our meetings are held every first Tuesday of the month
at the Flowing Well Pub, Broughton Road, Banbury, Oxon and this includes talks and
a chance to share information and discussion of finds.

Highland
Historical Search Society- Based Inverness
My name is Len Pentecost-Ingram, you may
have seen me often in Treasure Hunting or Searcher in an ad for cordless headphones
standing near Loch-Ness . I have been running the Highland Historical Search Society
since 1988.
We are a fairly small club of around 25 and hold an evening meeting at
Whites Electronics Inverness every other month, and have a club search once a month.
We find much the same type of stuff as most clubs but far less amounts due to the
low population in the past around these parts. We, also like many other clubs have
been involved with "Two men in a trench" and "Time Team" and countless radio interviews/press
features.
Some of the highlights in the past for me have been working with archaeologists
on an ironage site and finding a hoard .
I caught the detecting "bug"way back in 87'
and have never looked back I ,still always enjoy that exciting sense of the unknown
every outing and so far have never got tired of this absolutely fascinating hobby.

The Scottish Detector Club

is
Scotland’s oldest established, founded in 1977.
The SDC meets on the first Monday
of every month at 7.30 within the Ex- Servicemen’s Club, 7 Smith Place off Leith
Walk, Edinburgh.
Everyone has a chance to air their views about the running of the
club, and most of all, we have a lot of fun.
Currently, there are 39 members, and
our meetings are very informal. We try to arrange outings to farmland on Sundays
whenever sites are available, usually in the Lothians and Borders areas, sometimes
in Fife. We have also done a lot of work over the past 2 years in East Lothian carrying
out survey work for archaeologists at the sites of the Battle of Pinkie (1547) and
Prestonpans (1745). The site of the Cromwellian battle at Dunbar (1650) is also scheduled
for survey this year – all interesting stuff! Some of our members have appeared on
‘Time Team’ and ‘Two Men In A Trench’, so we think we have a good track record! The
club also makes a point of attending a few metal detecting rallies in Yorkshire in

through Roman, Saxon and medieval coinage and artefacts.
Membership runs from the
A.G.M. in April until the end of March and currently costs £15 a year, £5 of this
going towards NCMD membership and insurance.

Long Compton Archaeology Group

We
are an amateur archaeology group which is part of the Compton District History Society.
Our aim is to investigate as much land as possible in the area around Long Compton,
Warwickshire in order to map out the land usage and settlement from prehistoric times
to the present day.We do this by document research, excavations and field walking
to recover items such as flint or pottery and, wherever possible, we use Metal Detectors
to recover buckles, buttons and coins etc which are dateable evidence.The items that
are recovered are carefully cleaned, conserved and recorded. Objects of importance
are then recorded with the Find's Liaison Officer for the area. This is all carried
out in accordance with the Portable Antiquities Scheme.
Finds are then preserved by
members of the society or placed in the village museum in accordance with the landowners
wishes. All information is recorded by area or farm and a copy of the file passed
to the landowner.All our members work within our constitution rules and our health
and safety policy, copies of which are available to members. The society and members
are all insured, including public liability
Our plan for 2008 is to excavate a double
winged Roman Villa and Medieval site.
The group also offers a free search and recovery
service to members of the public and farmers.Our meetings are held every second Wednesday
of the month at Long, Compton Village Hall and this includes talks and a chance to
share information and discussion of finds.
